Passenger : A Love Story

India is considered by many an exotic, even mysterious country. Some people may only know it as it related to Gandhi. But as different as it may be from other countries, there are similarities. Young people meet and fall in love, but things do not always go as planned. Playwright Pramila Le Hunte's Passenger: A Love Story tells the tale of an English girl and an English boy who find each other, and themselves, cocooned in a historical space in Calcutta, India. They are guided into their futures by a mysterious stranger, a little rouge, a sugar-and-salt philosopher, and a latter-day Gandhi. Not only a romance, you will be inspired to consider the large issues that plague Indian society, like racism, prejudice, the sorry left-outs of society in our midst, misguided nationalism leading to war, and the role education might play to combat this plague.
